Your search is over- you have found the perfect daycare & nursery school for your child…read more My son first started in the infant room, and it has been the best experience that I could imagine. The entire staff is the equivalent to real life Disney fairy godmothers. They are magical. So professional, incredibly caring and warm from the start. From the moment I inquired online with Cadence Academy, in less than 24 hours our relationship began. Kaitlyn, the director, personally called me, and after 45 minutes on the phone, feeling like we were long lost friends reconnecting, the weight of finding the perfect place for my son was lifted. (Her daughter attends, so that right there was reassurance that Cadence Academy is the top choice for even a professional) I was called back to work in the middle of the summer of 2020, the PANDEMIC. Kaitlyn and her incredible staff made me feel so comfortable while I couldn't physically tour any of the classrooms, or walk inside the building, their descriptions, virtual tours, and phone calls reassured me completely. The Covid protocols were strict and thorough- with daily temperature checks for each student, mandatory masks, and extra sanitizing steps- it is extremely clean that I never felt overly nervous. Within the first week my son attended for three days, he came home waving, clapping and saying "bye-bye" at 11 months old. The next week he was saying "ut oh" and signing for milk (I had practiced signing at home and let them know my goals- and within two weeks of being at the academy -he was signing back!) Now at almost a year and a half he has an extensive vocabulary and signing skills to communicate! All thanks to the incredible teachers and socialization with other babies. The first few weeks I was a naturally worried mom- between the live updated app they use showing each meal, how much he ate and how much milk he drank, how long he napped, to every dirty to clean diaper- to photos of their daily activities- it reassured me he was in the perfect hands. I would call to check in, and every time I did I never ever felt rushed off the phone- Miss Taryn (who my son calls mama and immediately reaches for when we arrive each morning) would take the time and tell me how James' day was going and what he was learning. Even though I would hear a busy room in the background, she never rushed me off the phone and let me ask all of the questions. I felt at ease. She truly is doing what she is meant to do- be with babies and teach! My son had an immediate and special bond with Miss Taryn- that naps were no problem napping away from home (which is any mom's biggest fear who has gone through sleep training and has a perfect sleeper- sleep and daycare! They are amazing at getting your baby to nap) Meghan, the assistant director, is the most warm and calming soul I have ever came across. She is the perfect face of the academy, taking care of the daily protocols and payments. Anything you need or any question you may have- she is literally two rings away, or your emailed is answered within minutes. Hannah, is the coolest and the most down to earth, who again makes you feel so comfortable leaving your child when/if he cries come Monday when you first leave. And mind you- she is the funniest- best personality. Look no further, this is the spot not only for you to feel at ease that your child is in the best care, but also the best place for your child to grow (and eat very well!)

My children are very happy at both drop off and pick up. They have a structured curriculum and schedules that align well with each classroom, and we have seen both of our children truly thrive. We are confident that the child who will be entering K next year is going to be more than ready with the preparation in Pre-K! We call it a school because it is truly more than a daycare - they are caring for the children but also developing them as empathetic and smart learners! In these unique (pandemic) times, Little Steps really has made sure all state policies are followed. We have felt completely comfortable sending the children in. It is also worth noting that the classrooms are spotless, drop off/pick up is easy, and communication via the tadpoles app is very clear. (It also shares a building with a great pediatrician practice and is walking distance to a commuter rail...extremely convenient!)

The facility itself is clean and has made major upgrades for the Covid 19 pandemic which has made me feel good about sending her during this time. The communication from staff is great.

I would never think to write a review for a preschool because obviously every family, child,…read moreschool, etc. is unique and a family MUST do more than rely on Yelp for such an important choice. HOWEVER, I happened to see that my child's school only had one review and it's quite negative. This is too bad because every parent I've ever met who has any experience with this school just loves it. We are very happy at First Parish. It is a playschool, meaning they believe that children learn best through play. It's sort of old fashioned...in a good way...it's in a church basement, everyone is pretty local, they have to be creative with space (it's in a church basement). So far we have really liked the teachers we have dealt with and the director is wonderful. I love that they try really hard to get the kids outside and they have a great outdoor space. First Parish is definitely worth checking out - but get on it as there is almost always a waitlist.

My daughter's experience at Inly School has been nothing short of life-changing ... not just for…read moreher, but for so many of her peers as well. It has been such a joy to watch her and her friends grow into poised, confident, thoughtful young people. One of the things that makes Inly so special is its emphasis on theater. And to be clear, theater is not just for "theater kids." It's for anyone who wants to succeed in life. Have you ever had to give a presentation at work? A theater background would help. Have you ever had to advocate for yourself to a boss or manager? Theater experience would help there too. Especially in today's fast-moving, AI-driven world, the people who stand out are those who are poised, strong communicators, and able to advocate for themselves. That is one of the greatest gifts Inly has given my daughter. We chose Inly seven years ago because every person we met who knew an Inly student had nothing but wonderful things to say about them. Now, I feel so proud and grateful to say that my daughter and her friends are part of that same group. I also want to briefly acknowledge some of the less positive reviews. I genuinely feel for families whose experiences may not have been what they hoped for. No school is the perfect fit for every child, and some of those criticisms may be valid. I can only speak from our experience, which has been overwhelmingly positive, and the growth in my daughter is evident every single day. There is also a new Head of School as of September 2025, and that leadership change has already brought meaningful improvements. There has been a clear effort to create more consistency in the quality of education across classrooms. Inly's student-led learning model has long been one of its greatest strengths, though at times that approach may have led to some inconsistency between levels, classes, and students. It is clear the school is actively working on that. What has not changed ... and has certainly not diminished ... is the magic of Inly and the remarkable education its students receive. If you have any doubts about whether Inly might be right for your family, talk to an Inly kid. They just might convince you.

During conversations with admissions staff, there was little room for meaningful dialogue or…read morequestions.
